Well, by accident I spotted a 1998 file named Greg Bear's Pep Talk.doc in Time Machine on my Mac and decided to use #Finder to find it.

Nope.

After plenty research on how-to, some Apple, some Stack Exchange etc., I've come to the conclusion that Finder #Search is broken. It won't find the file even if it is the default directory for the search, and certainly not when searching This Mac.

I found a tip to use Spotlight (I have Tahoe installed). #Spotlight actually works like a charm, finding by the time I typed the b in Greg Bear. What gives, #Apple? Are you abandoning Finder Search?
